Premières caractérisations morpho typologiques de la céramique archéologiques des enceintes et structures en pierres, sud-ouest du Burkina Faso
FARMA Hantissié Hervé, Simporé Lassina, Olivier Gosselain
Les enceintes et structures en pierre sont les principaux vestiges archéologiques connus dans l’espace géoculturel appelé abusivement ‘pays lobi’ au Burkina Faso, Afrique occidentale.
Depuis les premières publications à leur sujet au début du vingtième siècle, leur architecture a été l’aspect matériel le plus traité. Cette focalisation sur le(...)

Le taux de déperdition des participants dans une cohorte
prospective est une préoccupation majeure pour les investigateurs,
compte tenu de son impact sur la validité interne des enquêtes. Notre
étude avait pour objectif d’évaluer l’effet des appels téléphoniques
sur les taux de suivi d’une cohorte de nourrissons au Burkina Faso.

Background
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma proteins associated with disease progression from chronic HBV infection to HCC.

Direct Electrochemical Analysis of 3-Methyl-4-Nitrophenol in Water Using Carbon Fiber Microelectrode Modified with Nickel Tetrasulfonated Phthalocyanine Complex
Yibor Fabrice Roland Bako, Boukaré Kaboré, Amidou Tall, Wendepoui Félix Sawadogo, Issa Tapsoba
This study reports a tetrasulfonated nickel phthalocyanine complex (p-NiTSPc) modified carbon fiber microelectrode (CFME) for the detection of 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) at low potentials. The voltammogram of MNP showed a cathodic peak at −0.86 V vs Ag/AgCl corresponding to the reduction of the nitro group. An electrocatalytic activity towar(...)

Formulation and In Vitro Release Studies of Emulgels Containing Shea Butter and Diclofenac Diethylamine
Hermine ZIME DIAWARA, Hyacinthe W. BONKOUGOU, Charles B. SOMBIE, Salfo OUEDRAOGO, Luc ZONGO, Josias B. G. YAMEOGO, Rasmané SEMDE
Shea butter is a raw material widely used in cosmetology. Its use in the pharmaceutical sector is becoming increasingly popular. As it’s commonly produced in Burkina Faso, it can help reduce medicine costs. Several dermatological formulations (creams, body milks, ointments) have been developed in our laboratories in Burkina Faso. However, some(...)

Watershed-Based Approaches for Sustainable Agricultural Ecosystem Management in Burkina Faso
Nikiema Sanata, Compaoré Hyacynthe
Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of Burkina Faso, employing a large proportion of the population and contributing significantly to national GDP. However, this sector faces critical challenges, notably rapid soil degradation, declining fertility and the increasing vulnerability of farming systems to climate var(...)

Introduction: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections represent significant public health challenges in sub-Saharan Africa, including Burkina Faso. HAV is the most symptomatic viral hepatitis, while HBV is the most endemic and can lead to severe complications such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HAV is a(...)

Abstract
Arboviral diseases are emerging public health challenges in Burkina Faso, largely driven by
the proliferation of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the environment. Effective surveillance of
arbovirus circulation is critical to inform interventions. From August 2022 to June 2023, we
implemented a comprehensive entomological surveillance(...)

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the serious complications of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and constitutes a major global public health problem. Several factors contribute to the development of this cancer, the genetic aspect of which is linked to mutations in genes such as the human telomerase reverse transc(...)

Towards An Ecore-Based, Uncertainty-Aware Metamodel for Auditable Geopolitical Decision Support
Somda Flavien Hervé, Guel Désiré , Kangoye Sékou
We present GeoDepend-ML, a temporal, multiplex Ecore metamodel for representing geopolitical interdependence and influence with auditability. The model treats actors (states, blocs, enterprises, organizations), assets (resources, technologies, infrastructures, routes), and artifacts (e.g., treaties, licenses, sanctions) as first-class elements(...)

On the study of cellular automata on modulo-recurrent words
Moussa Barro, K. Ernest Bognini and Boucaré Kientéga
In this paper, we study some class of cellular automata (CA) preserving modulo-recursive, stability by reflection and richness called stable cellular automata (SCA). After applying these automata on Sturmian words, we establish some combinatorial properties of these new words. Next, the classical and palindromic complexity functions of these w(...)

Les maltraitances des personnes âgées de plus de 60 ans, un phénomène encore négligé par l’action publique en Afrique. Revue narrative et approche anthropologique
ROUAMBA George, KAFANDO Lilianne Christelle, SIMBRENI Marie-Madeleine
La maltraitance des personnes âgées est un phénomène universel. Des interventions sont élaborées et mises en oeuvre partout dans le monde, mais elles sont insuffisamment connues, et encore moins évaluées. L'objectif de cette revue est d'évaluer l'état de la littérature sur les interventions de lutte contre la maltraitance des personnes âgées d(...)
